TXTPower rejects Globe offer

Latest from TXTPower.org:

TXTPower convenors Anthony Ian Cruz, Trixie Concepcion and Jhayvie Dorado attended today’s meeting at the NTC, eagerly awaiting word from Globe regarding the ongoing settlement talks brokered by the telecom regulator.

Our offer: integrate the old 15-25-50 pricing scheme in the new pricing scheme.

We wish to inform subscribers that Globe refused our offer and made a counter-offer.

Globe’s counter-offer: maintain the present scheme and provide a new choice of P100 for six days.

We did not accept the offer. The P100 for six days is tantamount to P16.67 per day which is 66.7 percent higher than the previous P10 pesos per day, using the P50 for five days pricing as benchmark. We feel that consumers will reject it as well.

Tsk tsk. Patigasan na ito.

Aware po ba kayo tungkol sa load cartel? Ito po ay grupo na nagmonopolia ng pag benta ng prepaid loads ng mga telcos. Ang huling ginawa ng cartel ay gawing 4% ang commission ng mga retailers sa pag benta ng load mula sa dating 11%. In effect tumaas ang cost of textting kasi ang mga retailers ay napilitang patungan ng flat rate na 5php per load regardless of amount. Kawawa naman po yung nagloload ng 10php kasi 15 php ang binabayad nila

Good for TXTPower! Pero kung tutuusin, sino nga ba naman ang tatanggap sa ganung offer? Kahit siguro mahina ako sa Math, basura direcho ng counter-offer na yun.

Sana bumigay na ang Globe!

PS: Opo nga po, nakakagulat ang pag-revive ng “Tatsulok”. Sana nga lang po, kahit kantahin ng kung sinuman sa kalye ang awit, ay maramdaman din nila ang tunay na kahulugan nito.
